*we were discussing a book on becoming successful at work, and one of the action plans it says to do, is to write a letter to someone 5 -10 years into the future detailing the successful life you have had. This is my letter to my future friend. I went with 10 yrs*My Dear Friend,
I can't believe how quickly the time has gone by! I feel like it was just yesterday that we sat down for a dream session over cappuccino's. How are your plans going?
I have had so much success in my business with Primerica! I am now an RVP and have the most wonderful team working with me! We just got back from a wonderful company trip to Hawaii! They are always the best! Chilling on a beach in Waikiki with some of the biggest names in Primerica drinking by the ocean talking shop with these people only drives my desire to become great! I am so happy I was introduced to this company!
Looking back i laugh, because i remembered trying to figure out where the loop hole was for 6 months after signing on. I was just waiting for the scam to rear it's ugly head and it never did. What a fool i was to waste that time on my business. It made my life that much more difficult to get things going. I thought i'd never see my first recruit, never see my district promotion. I was only doing it as a part time, spare cash thing. How silly I was. The effort i put into this work, have left me openings to pursue what I have always wanted, a music teaching career.
Remember that Music school I was talking about starting? I did it! There was a building downtown that was for sale, so i went to check it out, and it is PERFECT!!! Plenty of space to put in an auditorium and several smaller rooms for classrooms, a shop for material, and maybe even a little coffee shop for musicians to perform! We are starting small, there are 5 of us on the payroll. A Strings teacher, a piano teacher, a drum guy, Brass player, and my good friend came on board as our house woodwind instructor! We haven't reached the point where I can provide students with ownership of instruments, but we are able to provide free lessons as long as parents put a deposit on the instruments! It's not exactly what i had planned, but it is a start. A few years down the road it will continue to grow into greatness i'm sure! One day, I will be able to offer lessons, and students can own their instruments for whatever their parents can afford to donate. No child will be left without music in their lives for want of money as far as i'm concerned.
I finally made it to Ireland! I met those cousins of my grandparents, and they were wonderful!! I decided on my visit, that I would dearly love to own property there, now i do! I got my dual citizenship in place last summer and Recently purchased 10 acres of land.One day I will build a home there, but for now, i have a wee piece of the emerald Isle to call my own, and that, is lucky enough!.\ You should come to Ireland with me some day, it is incredible!
I have a house now!!! I moved to Pennsylvania near my family, and purchased a nice 4 bedroom home on 2 acres with an in-ground pool, in a beautiful area with lots of woods and a beautiful view of the mountains! I love being near my family! It's a different world! I'm the cool cousin still ( a title i have managed to maintain since getting my liscense and driving down there on my own at 18yrs old) I can take my younger cousins out to lunch, and i'm going to be taking my cousin Grace out for her prom dress tomorrow! I cannot believe she is going to PROM!? I remember when she was born! This is the way God intended life to be! Being able to provide for my family, living worry free and enjoying life to the fullest!
I can't believe that 10 years ago, I was drowning in student loans and credit card debt, living with my parents,working 3 jobs to make ends meet! Today, I sit here in front of my fireplace writing to you, debt free, with so many of my dreams coming true! I would never have believed there was a way to be a music teacher and make a 6 figure income! I am so incredibly blessed to be here, to have been given the opportunities I have, to have had the support of friends and colleagues when it seemed impossible, and to have people like you, to dream with! I hope to hear from you soon, and hear about all the dreams and things going on with you!!
Until our next dream session
Your Kindred Friend
Mary
